These Women Build – And We Are Grateful!
Over 40 amazing Women United volunteers from United Way Charlotte County rolled up their sleeves and got to work across three Habitat jobsites and the Port Charlotte ReSale Store. From interior wall framing to caulking, painting 1,200 sq ft in “HABI-TAN,” and turning a house into a home — these women brought energy, purpose, and heart to every task.
At the ReSale Store, they powered through the heat, sorting donations! 100% of the ReSale Stores' net revenue goes directly into Habitat's affordable homeownership program.
Because of YOU, families in Charlotte County are one step closer to safe, secure, and affordable homes — and brighter futures.
Thank you, Women United, for being the hands, hearts, and hope of this community.
